This paper is based on level, trends and pattern of female labor migration in Nepal. The changes in the lives of Nepalese women due to the increasing trend foreign labor migration of men. The changes in intra-household power relations and the transformations in women’s lives, due to the male-dominated nature of Nepalese migration, are largely neglected. The aim of this paper to find the level and trend of female labour migration in Nepal and also examine women’s experiences, as they assume the role of household heads, financial managers and single parents, in a society that has historically suppressed their freedom. The analysis is based on secondary data source. Women who take on the role of household head are more likely to gain decision-making power and experience an increase in social participation, while those left under the supervision of other members (usually their in-laws) may suffer from reduced decision-making ability and increased restrictions on their mobility in public spaces. These consequences are highly sensitive to the regional socio-cultural norms as well as women’s caste, class, and individual characteristics. The consequences of female migration increasing trend day by day and their experience provides the valuable information for the developing policy of migration as well as traditional gender inequality and providing women with the resources to manage with the challenges faced during men’s migration.

All countries have to face population aging sooner or later, depending on their degree of development. However, elderly care is predicted to soon become a major concern for developing countries such as Nepal. Both quantitative and qualitative investigations were conducted on elderly people living in Pashupati Elderly’s Home in Kathmandu using the descriptive and eresearch design. Thirty elderly people were the respondents of this study. Face-to-face interview, KII, and observation methods were used to collect data on the elderly and their attitudes toward senior citizen homes. Most elderly people are forced by different factors like loneliness, family dispute, disability, poverty, and domination in their families to take shelter in old people’s homes for several years. Some were living happily in the home, though they missed their family on some occasions because they could have spent their leisure time by sharing their emotions and feelings with same-age groups.

This study aims at assessing the basic pre-requisites and trends of urbanization in Nepal. Using secondary sources of data, the study embarks on a successive analysis of the years ranging from 1952 to 2017, while employing a descriptive research design. Simple descriptive tools: tabulation, percentage, and trend line are used for data presentation and analysis. Urbanization in Nepal is defined as a crucial way in terms of the rise in the proportion of the total population residing in designated urban areas; not by the sufficient availability of infrastructures but by the excessive migration of people from rural to urban areas seeking modern amenities. The official statistics show that the trend of urbanization in Nepal is in increasing order in recent years. This is the by-product of ad-hoc political decisions. However, this paper limited its scope by considering only pre-requisites, and trends as a measure to examine the pattern of urbanization in Nepal. This paper provides insightful guidelines, and problems solving strategy, especially, for decisionmakers, policy makers, planners, demographers and academicians in relation to developing countries. Academic integrity, professional ethics, and minimum similarity index are used.

The sample size consists of 571 currently married women, age groups 15-49 who had a live birth in the 5 years preceding the survey. This study showed that dependent variables means women who had attend ANC as 4 or more visits and the women who had attended ANC as less than 4 times visits. In this study the utilization of maternal health care based on factors like women’s age, level of education, poor wealth quintile are responsible. In province 2, fewer women are using ANC services. In order to address the existing gap and variation in ANC service utilization, particular attention should be given to women from less education, poor wealthquintile, utilization of services among older age group. In province 2, ANC visit and 4 times is highest of age group 35-49 (44%) followed by 25-34 age group (31%) and least of age group 15- 24 (29%) mothers are using ANC services. While talking about education level, near about one third percent (32%) of respondents do not have any formal education. These factors still make problem to mothers using of ANC services .Special emphasis on women’s education plays a vital role to increase the utilization of maternal health care.

First birth is one of the most significant events in woman’s life which signifies her taking on the roles and responsibilities of a mother. This article tries to figure out the factors that determine the age at first birth of women aged 15 to 24 years. Utilizing the Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2016 data, this study examines the socio economic and demographic determinants of age at first birth among the women aged 15-24 years with the 4,849 married women. The analysis has made using the mean distribution and two tailed Pearson’s correlation has been used for statistical test. The result shows that women’s education, occupation, wealth index and age at marriage has positive correlation with the age at first birth. It is expected that higher the use of contraceptive method has lower the fertility. Though, use of contraceptive methods seems no any association with the age of women at first birth. Study reveals that unmet need for family planning is high of that age group. That’s why, supply of family planning methods of target population group can play vital role to postpone age at first birth.
